How the brief was fulfilled
Bold colour and shape create the edge in this commercial fine jewellery collection. Bright orange carnelian gemstones in an atypical bullet cabochon shape were the inspiration. Highly polished, convex-cut, unfaceted gems are surrounded by fully faceted, lab grown white diamonds for contrast and set in recycled 9ct yellow gold.
The pendant cap has a chamfered edge leading to a wide rim with 6 evenly spaced flush set round diamonds. The caps are set to hold the carnelian in an ‘upside down’ bezel setting. The drop earring has a simplified ring that dangles from leverback ear wires. Edge Only’s ‘E’ brand mark replaces a diamond at the back of each drop earring providing space for a hallmark.
In reverse, the diamond set ring bezel holds the carnelian stone upright, creating height and drama in a wearable statement. The underside features a brand mark and Irish hallmarks. Design allows for gemstone variation.

The design is beautiful, both modern and classic in shape, construction and choice of gemstone colour. The technical details and execution are really sharp. The brand identity comes through really well.
